​The conceptualization of container fleet refers to the transportation industry through sea, which ships goods worldwide. The concept of container fleet is also known as containerization which is an intermodal transportation. Transporting good through is the cheapest form of shipping in the intermodal transportation across the globe. The container fleet market is growing at a significant pace due to the increase in use of high capacity vessels which reduces the cost of each container being loaded on to the vessel, and increasing use of fleet management systems.

The major driving factor the market for container fleet is growing demand for intermodal transportation for inter-country as well as inter-continental transportation. The large steel containers are transported through various modes of transportation such as from waterways, to railways or roadways without unloading or reloading the goods from the container. This benefit in the field of containerization is impacting hugely on the container fleet market. In addition, the need for refrigerated cargo containers is also in demand and is expected to boost the container fleet market over the years. The refrigerated cargo containers are used to transport temperature controlled goods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, medicines, and even meat. These refrigerated cargo containers are also used to store the goods temporarily with minimum warehouse facility.

The non-availability of some ports or terminals with container handling facility is limiting the cargo carriers market which in turn is hindering the growth of the market for container fleet in those regions. The handling of containers in the ports or terminals requires sophisticated equipment to limit unavoidable situations. Moreover, small ports are unable to handle large ships or vessels due to their limited facilities, and the cargo carriers need to operate small ships or barges which increases the cost of entire transportation. This factor is also inhibiting the growth of the market for container fleet.

Incorporating analytics in the container fleet market acts as a potential opportunity in the container fleet market to grow over the period. Analytics helps the container fleet market with issues related to network such as container utilization, vessel deployment and terminal operations. Another advantage of incorporating analytics is it helps in understanding the recent trends in the industry as well as forecast mid and long term outlook.
